Happy New Year!
I don’t think enough people have money to blow on the gambling; that is why they are in trouble. They seem to be trying to add non-gambling entertainment (just as malls seem to adding non-shopping options to survive); in both cases they need foot traffic to stay alive, and their cores (gambling and shopping) aren’t cutting it. Of course they’ve added dining, but they need more; AC has shows and seems to be adding shopping, and the new “mall” up here (American Dream) basically added a theme park (after sitting vacant but completed as a shopping mall for several years). I’d imagine both will get in on selling pot now as well; whatever brings bodies in the door.
Do they have pot dispensaries in Kearny? They don’t have them here in Bricktown.
